I’m definitely interested in more content on this very unusual model. Repair videos on the unique systems would be appreciated!

[@kevinbrett4274]

Owned my s for 8yrs 65.000mls only serviced by me, best motorbike ive ever had, easy to work on comfortable on long trips, turn heads, very hapoy

As a relative ham hander when it comes to performing all but the simplest maintenance - I must say, getting to the battery on these bikes is something of a project!

[@karldegroot3131]

It is such. I have a "99 with 10, 000 km. Kinetic art, it is. Can never be in a hurry when dealing with this beauty. Had to change the fuel pump a year ago...sitting with stabilizer...not enough. Never a good idea to start and idle these bikes...they need to be in the wind. A little more "tedious" than the battery. Chris' video (and one other, as I recall) helped tremendously. Changing the original rear tire this weekend. Then, on to the old 79.5 Kashmir Decker...another antiquated piece of rolling art. Hope Chris is ok.

Just got an 04 R1100R and this is the video of yours I've seen.... Both entertaining and informative. In other words, Love it, thanks.

[@whittpreslarii2567]

I've had a 2004 R1100S since 2011 and have loved every moment with it could never see myself letting it go, especially with the endless customization options. It has such personality compared to anything else I've been on, the boxer motor is just awesome. Just now seeing you're talking about it Chris, and I hope to see as many videos on it as possible!! HaHa thank you so much you're channel has always been helpful and fun.

[@cancerskryptonite]

Really appreciate your videos, thanks' for cleaning up the F bombs! 🙂

[@rudoffhess8496]

Yes, please make more video on this bike. Also, have about the K100RS??? Thanks Chris for all the videos in the past. I love them all!!!!

[@rayb241]

More please, had a 1100s in the early 2000’s then when the 1200 came i upraded. The 1200s was a great bike, but too focused.. years later and I’m back with 1100s again. Great bikes

[@holgerhansen5332]

Love the backstory. Gotta love a cheap fix. Smart these Germans. (pronounced cherrmunce)

[@erikclausen4780]

Thank you Chris for the history of the R 11 S Model nice job !!

[@dvperr]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these wonderful machines.

[@holgerhansen5332]

Yes please.

[@byrontucker6442]

Thanks Chris, just bought a 2003 with 23k on it and set about restoring it, left stored with an empty tank and had to rebuild the filler and the pump plate? Keep the R1100S stories coming, I'll go to patreon and support you...after all guess who is going to replace the input shaft and clutch...not me :)

[@kenmoore7195]

Very interesting, Keep me coming. I just got my 2001 in red with 77,000Klms and your videos have been invaluable to me from a maintenance point of view. Thanks mate! Cheers from down Under OZ!

[@markj8068]

Keep it coming Chris, love this

[@milanstefanovic3854]

I know this is not a place for advertising, but I have one R 1100 S with side bags for sale. Health issues forced me to do that. (Chris, I hope this does not offend you)

[@ChrisR.Harris]

No problem at all. Good Luck, Milan.

[@milanstefanovic3854]

@@ChrisR.Harris thank you so much. That's very kind of you.

Thanks, Chris. Keep it coming.

[@stevesimmo6355]

yes please

[@davey7309]

I just bought a 2002 R1100S, enjoying it very much! Thank you Chris for sharing some interesting facts about the R1100S !

[@willblog719]

Yes keep going😎

[@19Mako71]

Really enjoying the R11S videos. Hope you continue them. I still have a few of the Boxer Cup races on DVD. Fantastic bikes. When you finish this series I would love to hear the story behind the R1150R Rockster. Thank you Chris!

[@bav114]

A friend of mine had one of these with a Van der Linde exhaust system and it sounded awesome. He let me take it out one lunchtime at work. It was a great bike. I seem to remember the gearbox was a bit agricultural but I guess that adds character.

[@markkoning3809]

yes , please , more info on the R1100s . love the behind the scenes stories .

[@robducharme7901]

Interest here… looking forward to next episode.

[@keithnotts8055]

Yes please Chris. Keep r1100s content and service tips coming please. I've just done the gearbox splines on mine, your section on the bearings on the paralever was really welcome. Take care now, Keith in Derbyshire UK.

[@lex1945]

What a story! LOL! I still see some of these riding around though, seems like a fun bike.

[@michaelfabert1639]

Yes do it

[@carryonpompei]

Yes please more this is great. I wondered what those screws were doing in the air tubes....

[@raybrensike42]

I didn't know a computer problem could be fixed with a few sheet metal screws. BMW engineering at it's best? Great bike story.

[@markjones336]

Learned not to blip my throttle then!🥴

[@porkchop2723]

I recently bought one in great condition but it looks likes it’s had it’s time under the wrenches. I hope the recalls were done over the past 22 years

[@pissoff234]

👍

[@scottsdialyadventure1338]

Hello currently writing a r11.50r and still my favorite the r1100s interested to hear any and all detail on that machine and servicing as well mine has about 60k maybe front wheel bearing is going click

[@stevegiannotti6700]

I'm reading on forums that repair manuals are not available for the new bmws, I have a disk for my 2020rt and it's a pain to nav

[@Foxbat1155]

Hello Any chance on an F650 Funduro (pre-2000 models) video?? Love your videos and always push the like button for you =]

[@conkerman01]

I have one of these with a dead fuel pump. I just needed to get up the impetus to get it all off.

[@byrontucker6442]

Find the video Chris did on pulling the pu

[@byrontucker6442]

You'll need a fuel filter as well

[@conkerman01]

@@byrontucker6442 I did, that's why I haven't done it. :) I do have a filter and O ring as well in my drawer of bike crap. I have a newer bike so I have no need to do it.

[@byrontucker6442]

@@conkerman01 totally get your pain. All I can say is it's doable. If you ever do feel the need to punish yourself and do it. Get the accordion plastic tubes to replace the old tubes from the fuel pump to the filter. They are cheaper and are higher quality (much higher burst ratio than stock)

[@NYCZ31]

I’ve waited too long to buy a 1100S to get them cheap :-(
